The Wild West.

London Observer, October 16: This
week terminates the career of the Wild
West exhibition at Earl's Court. After
that it will. so far as London is con-
cerned, be numbered among the won
ders that were. The end of its phenom-
enal course of success as Il show will not
be greeted with unmingled regret by
Mr.. Cody and his company, for we dare
say they will not be sorry to obtain a
temporary relief from their daily toll.
What Mr.. Cody, in his picturesque dia-
lect terms dust has been gathered in

English winter can have
no attraction. Since the exhibition OF
1851. London has never saw n show that
so completely took it by storm as this
one, which illustrates some of the phase
of western Americae life. Perhaps
there never was IL show even in London

which they had read so much about in

very outset by reason of the novelty o.
its realistic methods, and so far as pOpu
larity was concerned, Mr.. Cody's eXhi
bition might apparently have gone or

TWO LUMBER KINGS.
A New York Correspondent Describes
Two Well Known Western Men

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The great lum-
Der forests of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota have been the basis of bust
ness and financial operations out of
which large fortunes have been made,
associating the title of lumber kings
and lumber barons with number of
names OF fortunate spectators and in
vestors. Among those who have made
money out of the pine forests of Michi-
gan is Ex-Governor II. A. Alger. When
General Alger went to Detroit, Mich.
at the close of the war he was almost
penniless, but he took up the practice of
law, and soon had a fine business for
railroads and other corporations, which
gave him the opportunity of personal
investment. and which he used to such
| advantage that at the present time he
| is one of the wealthiest men in Michi-
gan. His fortune is estimated at
$4,000, 900 or SIC, 900 900, much of which
has been made in pine lands. He owns
a considerable interest in the Pere Mar
quette railroad, and as its president has
one OF the finest private cars in the
| country.
Another of the lumber kings of the
| Northwest is Philetus Sawyer, Of Wis
consin, who for his generous and homely
| character is familiarly known at the
national capitol as "Old Pap Sawyer"
and "Uncle Phil, mot in derison or ridi-
cule, but with much the same endear-
ment that the soldier boys of the army
of the Cumberland spoke of General
George III. Thomas as "Old PAP
Thomas" Mr.. Sawyer began life as Q
wood. chopper in Wisconsin in lS47, and
by the judicious investment OF his hard
earned savings in cheap pine lands has
accumulated a fortune of 5000 900 OF
So 600 900, with which he is liberal to ar
unwonted degree. 1t is related that in
1854, after Carl Schurz had made
speech at Milwaukee, the republican
national committee became alarmed
at the situation e., in Wiscon
sin. and sent representative to tall
| with the party leaders. Almost the
first person the committees agent me
was Senator Sawyer, who was at HI

tanned his guest in a handsome manner
at his palatial home, and was willing to
talk OF everything but politics. When
ever that question was approached he
quietly postponed it for another time.
At last the senator's guest explained
his mission, and insisted on receiving
the information he sought. The sena-
tors reply did not contain much infor-
tion, but when it was reported to the
national committee it was entirely sat-
isfactory. Said he: you may go back
to New York and tell the national COM
mittee that the state of Wisconsin will
never go democratic as long as Philetus
Sawyer is United States senator and has
a bank-book.N

A Hotel In Court.

Judge Loofbourow arrived in the city
yesterday and listened to some argu-
ments concerning the Ogden house
matter. There are so many compli-
cations growing out of the recent
change of ownership and management.
The controversy yesterday was in re-
gard to the furniture. Sheriff Reel
has it under his control, and the ques-
tiOn arises as to whether he should take
such action as is customary with perish
able property, or whether the furniture
is not of this nature. Jndge Loot
bourow took the matter under advise
ment, and will give the sheriff the
needed information later. 1t is con-
tended by some concerned that COM
mission should be selected to determine
in regard to the furniture.

FINED $40 AND COSTS
For Running n Train Across tho Love
Without q flngmun.

For Running Train Across tho Leveo
without flngnan.
In Police Court Saturday afternoon,
Frank Spencer, q P, G. & St. L. conductor,
was srraigned on charge Of having run a
train across the levee without having a
flagman preceding it on foot, as required
by m ordinance passed in 1878 ,granting the
road certain privileges. Spencer stated
that he had never heard Of the ordinance
during the four years that he had been
running trains into this city over the road.
Ho was assessed fine OF $40 and costs.
Last evening between and Z o'clock,
those who happened to be on the levee
walk were convulsed with laughter over
the progress OF long freight train across
the leyee. 1t was fully ten minutes
from the time the engine left the
passenger depot till it was opposite the
freight house. Tom Kenney who was at
the throttle, made the train actually crawl
and repeatedly consulted his watch anxi-
ously, in order to make sure that he
was not running over ak miles
an hour. Ahead OF the engine walked a
lagman, fran.ically waving a red flag,
while the engine bell changed continuous
ly. And all this time there wes no one on
the street or levee. It seemed as though
the long train would never pass.
